Amen. Getting our outcomes requires winning elections. Winning requires a broad coalition and an awesome messenger.
Our outcome should be deep cuts to government spending and an almost immediate balanced budget, not one ten years down the road ala Paul Ryan or Pat Toomey.
Even if we elected a GOP majority and a Mitt Romney like president, the appropriate outcome of a quick balanced budget with real cuts to spending would not happen.
The moderate GOP-E would rule the roost.
The big money that supports political campaigns wants “stability” so all these band aid plans get passed with hoopla claiming its a “solution” while the multi-Trillion dollar debt train rolls on the real “Fiscal Cliff” of super disaster to come.
